Yes, and thanks Rick for doing what you did serving. Too all of the vets we know and those we don't thank you so much from Pat and me.

Great report Ollie and thanks for sharing. Really good to see you overcame the inclement weather with that nice day.

@Boej speak up you have questions to be answered.

Really good eats, A couple of the St. Louis area guys on here got us started a few years back. Need a fix now and again. AMAZON!

Livie has good taste!

A friend sent this and said it was Meramec sprigs trout Park.

Well 18 squirrel were canned yesterday in half pints. Had a problem getting a cut up big old Fox squirrel in that sized jar. Will rethink that deal and go with pints or larger jars next time. Another deal, we have a couple different canners. I found this one at a garage sale this summer. First time using on with a pressure gauge. It still uses the weight but I liked just adjusting the burner for adjusting the pressure. We had two jars that didn't seal. Not a problem just put in fridge and eat within a few days. This one was easy to pick and really tasty. We didn't add any salt and some canning books said to put a little in. We thought that the addition of chicken broth would make it too salty. Nope needs just a bit. Some of you are going to find this humorous and silly. I say look at the contents label on what you eat that is processed and bought commercially. We are eating good in the BilletHood.

Good question, Frozen game does. That is why you are supposed to put date, contents, day of take, name and or conservation number. I do this to everything we take. So now we come to processed. State and federal law can be different I think. These canned squirrel are processed and ready to eat. I don't think that should count. Since waterfowl are federal makes me wonder about canning geese which many do.

You are not useless anymore. Oneshot you keep many of us smiling with you posts. Just keep being yourself.

Wow what a mess.

Thank you, Anthony!

I got the hankering for potato soup. Then said something about a pork tenderloin sammich. So we had both. At Sam's we bought a whole tenderloin. Pat whipped up the soup and then went to slicing a piece of the tenderloin. We like the whole ones and work it up in think slices and one or two roasts. As Pat beat the tenderloin slice into submission she said go get lettuce out of the garden. I did and she was breading and frying the pork. I had the worst fall lettuce planting. Third planting I guess was the charm as a few came up. It all came together and a late lunch/ early supper was very good.

Appropriate for tonight,

Oh, buddy I know. They flat become part of your family. Sadie went with us everywhere until her health would not let her. Even then we found someone to stay with her here at the house. Oh, how we miss her. We had her 17 years.

Tjm knows what he is saying. Fried first lid off then broken down with steam. Hot going to be crispy but just as tasty. Sounds like my grandma and mom. There was bacon grease or lard always used too I am betting!

Ours were too and that can help break the meat into submission. some of the medium ones as I call them were fried and removed. The sticky bits were covered with water, some cheap white wine or chicken broth and other seasonings if wanted. Just like your mom put on a skillet lid to match that skillet with the liquid approx. halfway up the meat sides. onto the simmer burner low and walk away then check minimally to keep that liquid there. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Believe me John we have thought about it a bunch. It is not out of the picture totally. If we did it would be a smaller Lab like the English version. House companion for sure. Just not quite ready. In the meantime we can come up and visit your two balls o fire when we need a fix.

I have only found one small cluster of black trumpets around here. Our friend that has a place south of Herman finds a bunch. Been so dry here no Chanterelles for three summers.

WOWZERS!

Ok all is forgiven, I guess. 😆 Carry on two stroker Mr. Evinrude !

Are you chicken? Or just a squirrel 🤣 ?

Found some! If we were making a soup or stew might add some. If it doesn't get cold this log will continue to bloom with them. https://mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/field-guide/witches-butter

Just a bit of canning or sea salt depending on the jar size. I do them in half pints. They hold one quartered up squirrel. Tell you what we will send you one after I get it done.
